Giving Thanks

​November in Nicaragua is a great time of year. The much needed rain of the rainy season begins to subside, the skies are bright blue and the Papagayo winds are breezing through Nicaragua making the heat just a bit more bearable. Another tell tale sign of the season is the changing colors of the coffee beans from green to yellow and red. Not quite the same markers of fall as in many places, but they're ours.

As always, we have much to be grateful for. We are thankful for faithful friends, family, and church families who pray for us and support us in our efforts to share Christ and train up Nicaraguan church leaders. We are grateful for how God has allowed us to serve here for nearly 10 years, and has allowed us to see tremendous growth along the way.

Here are just a few requests for this month as we reflect on the many blessings we enjoy:

Praise:

The missions conference went very, very well. Over 400 people from all over Nicaragua attended the conference this year. We are thankful for our national brothers who spoke in the main sessions and in the breakout sessions. We are grateful for the ABWE camp staff who were super helpful with everything from registration to decorations.

We are grateful that Peter is adjusting well to college life! Thank you for your prayers for him. Special thanks to those who have sent notes and care packages to encourage him.

Prayer:

Please pray for Bruce as he travels this week to visit pastors between here and Somoto (4-5 hours north)

Please pray for the ICP November 16-18 as both the graduates and current students will have classes

​

We wish each of you a very Happy Thanksgiving as we all take time to celebrate with family and friends the abundant blessings we are given so freely to enjoy.

Into Africa Update

So far $900 in support has been committed toward Emma's missions trip to Tanzania this summer. We are grateful for this provision. Her goal of $4,000 is determined much by airfare. Please pray for a favorable ticket to be available in the next several months so that the goal may decrease a bit! ​

​For those desiring to partner with Emma, donations can be made in her name or in ours and sent to our address in Lakeland (2220 Country Loop North, Lakeland, FL 33811) or can be made via PayPal to emmalouwho20@gmail.com.
